I am trying to finish my notes to accompany the rebuild video (notes will be free) and I am wanting to pick your collective brains for info on corrosion prevention for the mag alloy case. What do you do? The factory coating only lasted a few years and is long gone now. On most peoples cases, it is the oil that keeps it from corroding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I was going to spray mine with Gibbs, but forgot to and now it looks not-so-great...I guess I can clean it and spray.
I have been second guessing not putting a TB Diff in it (no need for LSD since it'll be street driven) when it was rebuilt. Since it's still out I might revisit that idea. hmmmmm |
